Rob Waugh lives in Edinburgh with his wife and two boys (11 and 9), where he’s juggling family life with a career that’s far broader than “filmmaker” suggests.

One week he’s running productions through his company, Simmerdim. The next he’s halfway around the world behind a camera, filming everything from elite sport to remote expeditions.

Before that, Rob spent years project-managing rural water projects across East Africa. More recently, life came full circle when he was awarded an explorer grant by the Scientific Exploration Society to film a documentary in Uganda about the disappearing glaciers of the Rwenzori Mountains.

I watched a beautiful short film Rob made about his son’s first Munro at Kendal Mountain Festival last year and it captured everything I love about getting kids outdoors, so he felt like the perfect person to kick off this new series.
